It's the early 1990s and Gus Watson is learning how tough it is to become an adult. In three linked narratives, Across a Fluky Sea navigates four tumultuous years as Gus grapples with the vulnerabilities of love, the disintegration of his closest childhood friend, and a growing awareness that youth is nothing if not fleeting. This novella is a haunting exploration of life, love and loss from acclaimed author Ken Spillman.

"Brilliantly written...Spillman creates his characters with sensitivity, and sketches their experiences with great craft and skill.' —The West Australian
